THE ECHO Don't sit and wait, For dreams to come true: There's a thing to cheer you, When you're blue. Along the road, It'll give you a lift, This one little word, lt's name is Thrift Now Thrift is a word, That we should know, For it'll help us, Through many a blow. Every penny that you save, All money that you wisely use. Will for you a wide road pave, And color it with brightened hues. THRIFI' I V S Thrift will make your lt'll clean you of sorrow And trouble, too. lt'll make a pathway, Bright and clear, lt'll bring you days, Of joy and cheer. So save your pennies, Right away, They'll make dollars, Some lucky day. Then when you're old, Some future day, You can use the money, You saved away. Lo dreams come true reta Petrucci--7.

THE ECHO 31 Spooky-Grams Say, fellows, said jim lVlartin, the leader of our gang of ten boys, ul overheard Sol Jenkin's crowd talk- ing about going for a moonlight hike to explore the old house down the road. They don't know its our hangout. What do you say we give them a scare ? That will be fun, we chimed in. When is it to be? I asked. Tomorrow night at 7:00 o'clock they are going to start. The next evening at 6:30 we met at Jim's house with our bikes, and we each had a sheet. After a fast ride along the road we arrived at our hangout. 3-96-15 This place looks spoofyf' said a timid member of Sol's crowd as they came in sight of the old house. Oh, don't be so scary, said Sol, who was somewhat of a bully. As they went up the path to the house they heard a moan coming from the direction of the house. They al- most jumped out of their shoes. That is just the wind whistling through the trees, said Jack Barton, Sol's right hand man. When they were all in the house the door suddenly closed with a bang. That is the wind also, volunteered one of the les- ser members. As they went up the stairs they heard a scraping above them. few That's the old tree rubbing on the roof, said Sol, somewhat shakily. They were at the top of the attic when Joe Browne, who was leading, stepped in a sticky substance. Sol lit a match and studied the mass. B-bloo-o-d, he whispered fearfully. just then they heard a blood-curdling yell, and a white form glided softly toward them. They let out a yell in chorus and went down the steps, lickety-cut. On the second floor a slimy hand reached out of a closet and brushed Sol's face. He went down the remain- ing steps, five or six at a time. He tried the door but found it locked on the outside! That capped the climax. Slimy hands grabbed them from behind and bound, gagged and blindfolded them. They were carried up the road a few hundred yards and their bonds released. Before they could untie their blind- folds and gags the ghosts had disappeared. Those boys never stopped running till they reached home. Hs vs as A laughing match took place in a few minutes at the old house. Those wet gloves made dandy 'slimy hands', laugh- ed Jim. That red paint for blood sure got them, I giggled. Thus ended the episode of the old house. Donald Ardnt-8. The Indian Trail As we walk along the path that they say the Indians first traveled, we look down over the steep, rocky hill-side and see below us a stream. The trail is very dangerous for the bed of the stream lies many feet below. It is very pretty in the fall. The trees are all dressed in their gay W colors. Here the trail is so steep that you have to get down by steps made from the roots of a large tree. Along the trail are many tall stones. ln the hot summer. the trail is very cool and inviting. Delores Graham. Thais Hallowelen Jack-O-Lanterns all around, Ghosts that never make a sound, joyous children roam the street, That's l'lallowe'en. Little pumpkins all carved out Make curious faces all about, Corn shocks now, stand all in row, That's l'lallowe'en. Ghosts to frighten lassies gay, Stop their joyous, petty play, To run away and yell and scream, That's l'lallowe'en. joyous children play around, Oh, don't you hear that shrieking sound? Oh see! A ghost is after them, but That's l'lallowe'en. The most joyous time of all the year, Time of laughter, song, and cheer, Jack-O-Lanterns, clowns, and spooks, That's l'lallowe'en. Loreta Petrucci-7.
